Orange County CAF's: up to no good

When you say center control panel, you mean like the head unit and AC controls? I haven't popped that off if so.

Not even gonna try to fuck with the center console. Plus the vga wouldn't reach and I don't want to buy another for it.

 

Attach it under the steering wheel area. There's room up in there that's out of the way and your legs won't hit it. Even if it looks out of place while you're under there sit in your seat and you won't be able to see it.
Or behind the cubby in front of your gear shifter. People have installed cv radios in there, there's probably some room to spare.
Or where people mount a trailer brake, it would be visible but out of the way and easy to access.
Or in the engine bay.

 

Im trying to avoid buying extra shit to attach. I need it to also be relatively accessible as I'll need to wire switches to it as I get them.

Behind the cubby the vga cable won't reach.

I might install a trailer brake there one day and need that spot. Plus it's inconvenient with my lengthiness having it there.

Thanks for trying though. Im going to cra back under the steering wheel area and see what I can do. Need to figure out also how to get the head unit area panels popped out

 

I really like the glove box for it but I can't keep it there without drilling a hole somewhere in to it and I'd rather not do that

 

Sounds like the problems that go through my head when I wrench on my truck. I know your pain. Under the steering column is a pretty sweet spot if most of the stuff is front mounted. I think I'm going to put my relay box near the rear speaker in the rear door panel or back wall.

 

So you keep saying your going to wire more switches up to it??? Isn't that switch box supposed to take place of all your switches and puts them all in one place on the 6 button control pad? I think I'm confused about what your trying to use it for or do with it.

 

Ya but I'm trying to mount it now. I don't have time to break apart all the wire harnesses and figure out how to get them wired to the box

 

I'll explain later tonight

 

Put the relays under the hood and just pull regular 14 gauge wire in the cab for the switches you need ... if im reading this correctly you have the relays behind the dash

 

Is the relay waterproof?

 

No. So it's a 6 button switch panel. There's a "box" that conencts to the battery/ground, and then has VGA to the actual switches. And then it has 6 male terminal connectors to wire your accessories to. The issue is finding a spot to mount the "box" that's still close enough for the VGA cord to reach the actual switch panel.

 

My fusebox is, and it has relays in it

 

Center console?

 

VGA to switch panel length is the issue.

 

not many options unless you can get a long VGA cable.

 

Yup. Trying not to spend more money on it. Also don't want to run the "box" far away cuz then that's 6 extra wires I have to run the same distance as well.

 

Get a longer vga

 

Cough*SPod*cough

 

That's probably what I'll end up having to do. I just didn't want to spend more money on it.

Go ahead and give me the $400 for it and I'll get it.
